Excellent property. Host was very responsive to questions. Beautiful view. Short trip to nearby activities. Went fishing right off the back porch. Nothing big, but plenty of bites, and it was a lot of fun.

The place is amazing! Our family enjoyed it so much. There were plenty of clean towels, and the bathroom was very nice and spacious. The kitchen was spacious as well and had everything we needed for meal prep. We especially loved having coffee on the back patio with the beautiful lake view. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

The house is beautiful, and the kids had so much fun fishing, swimming, and kayaking in the lake. The only downside is, there's a lot of road noise all day and night. I will say, the house more than made up for it though. Check in was a breeze, and communication with the host is flawless.

So Heavenly

My wife and I have stayed here about 6 times now. You can't beat the convenience of how close the fishing is to the back door. Also it is so quiet on the lake. We will come again.

About the host

Hosted by NITA Mays

Host profile image

Our family built this home in the early 80’s for the purpose of entraining the folks in the community. We have had numerous fishing events on the property . When the property was sold in 2019 my husband and I decided to purchase the chalet from the developer in order to preserve a small piece of our family’s history. After retiring from both the military and being a private business owner , we decided to remodel the home and let everyone enjoy a precious part of our history.

Why they chose this property

This property has a patio that is 2 foot off the lake edge . We will sometimes sit there all day and fish or just feed the geese.

What makes this property unique

There are no words to describe how much you and your family will enjoy your visit to our home.
